The Process of Deliveranceنموونە

CALL IT BY NAME

"But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, and cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many." Mark 5:6-9

In the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 5, Jesus contends with a demon-possessed man who could not be contained by any form of restraints. Jesus commanded the demonic  to identify itself—to reveal its name. We cannot take authority over that which we are not willing to identify and call by name. 

"When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. 'You deaf and mute spirit,' he said, 'I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.'" Mark 9:25

QUESTIONS: What is the root of your oppression? Have you identified and called it by name when seeking the Lord for your deliverance?
